Huddersfield Town stars Tommy Smith and Mathias 'Zanka' Jorgensen are adamant the Terriers can cope without injured midfielder Aaron Mooy.

The Australia international has been ruled out until February with a medial ligament tear suffered at Arsenal last week and Danish defender Zanka admitted that it was a big blow for David Wagner's side.

But the former FC Copenhagen captain is sure the Yorkshire side can contend without the 28-year-old, who is tied with Zanka as Town's top scorer this season with two goals.

He told Sky Sports News: "It's a big blow, but we would have been without him for all of January [due to the Asian Cup] of course.

"He is, of course, one of our best players and we have got to figure out a way to deal with that. But we have played other games without Aaron last year, and this year without some of our stronger players, and we've coped well performance-wise."

Club captain Smith, who picked up a hamstring injury at the Emirates Stadium, added: "'Mooysie' was just hitting good form and scored a couple of goals in the Wolves game recently.

"He is an influential player for us, but with Aaron being injured it opens the door for someone else and I'm sure someone will step in and do a great job."

On his own injury, Smith, who will also be sidelined until the New Year, said: "It's very frustrating. It's never nice to be injured, but it is part and parcel [of playing football].
